Halloween is just around the corner, and there's no better way to engage your students than by incorporating some ghoulishly fun classroom activities and resources. Purple Mash offers a terror trove of Halloween-themed content that's both entertaining and educational. In this blog post, we'll explore some spooktacular classroom activities and resources on Purple Mash that will have your students eagerly awaiting the witching hour.

In 2025, Diwali takes place on Monday 20th October. We invite your class to get involved and celebrate light and colour with these Purple Mash activities.

The Mash of the Month for October is 2Code, the Purple Mash tool that introduces computer programming (coding) to children. It has three key components: free code, guided lessons and debug challenges.

Save time and stress by using our Mash Club for your extra-curricular club. Mash Club is an after-school (or maybe even lunchtime) computing club aimed at Year 2 - 6 students with three terms of 8 self-guided sessions, where your students will learn to code and blog.

The Purple Mash Browser App makes using Purple Mash on tablets a smoother experience, and allows children to focus only on the activities at hand. Find out how to download and install it in this blog, as well as its latest updates and features.
